It was an overcast day and everyonne was excited to see her. She never left the truck except to get in the car and run. Several people tried to get her to at least roll down the window and sign an autograph or something. Wasn't gonna happen. She just waved everyone away or ignored them all together and looked like she was completely annoyed by it all. Sorry, but you don't "big time" your fans and expect to keep them. I stopped being a fan right there.
Great Point!! They have been together for 26 years and that sure beats most of the stats the general public can put up. I don't know how he put up with her mean side for even a part of those years. She can be mean and vindictive and she's not very well liked at all by a lot of folks because of her mouth. Kalitta's success is due to Rahn Tobler, not Shirley Muldowney and if push came to shove, who would get the boot off the team?You ever see the nasty side of Shirley?
Whats the big deal here? 50% of all marriages are currently failing. Don't get me wrong I do not support divorce in today's world under most circumstances. Moist women make the decision long before you see any paperwork and getting it back on track is very difficult.
Shirley was never really good with the fans and that's one of the reasons why she spent so many years looking for a sponsor....

You be sure and make a national event in 2007..oh and stop by the Kalitta camp and relay your inside information to her ok?Shirley is a world renowned bitch from what I have heard. I know someone that was negotiating with her to buy a car hauler in the late 80s and he told me stories about her that would piss just about anyone off. To be honest, I am surprised that Rahn stuck around as long as he did. The fact that she issued a press release with details shows what kind of person that she is. She was a great driver and she helped drag racing grow at a time when they really needed someone like her. I respect her for that.
How about we delete the thread and let Rahn and Shirley work out?
I may be confused but weren't there 1 or 2 Kallitas with some success even before Rahn or Doug?
I think the press release should go in the news section,the commentary should be edited out,and the whole issue treated with the respect it deserves.It's nobody's business to speculate on the particulars of this issue,or to place blame.
